Twitter is in full on experimentation mode with its latest app update. We’ve talked before about how Twitter is using data to push out big changes to small amounts of people and then make judgement calls about whether to implement those updates on a larger scale. It’s latest update adds several features to everyone’s version of Twitter, but depending on which experimental bucket you’re in you might see any number of ‘versions’ of Twitter once you update your app today. First, the changes to the app that we’ll all get to take advantage of.

Otherwise you’d have to tap on the location button proactively. Swipe gestures on a ‘per cel’ basis appear to be gone as well. This means that you can’t swipe from left to right on a tweet to bring up actions any more.
